Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily prevent the oxidation of the porcelain teeth by substituting a furnace body atmosphere with a nonoxidative gas, then reducing the pressure in a furnace body and heating up the furnace to bake the porcelain applied on the surfaces of denture bodies consisting of an easy oxidation type metal and to calcine the porcelain teeth in the production of the porcelain teeth by heating the porcelain in the heating furnace. CONSTITUTION:The atmosphere temp. in a heating chamber 2 is first kept at about 450 deg.C by energizing a heating element 5 in the furnace in the state of holding a baking base 30 risen, and thereafter, the baking base 30 is lowered at the time of producing the porcelain tooth. Plural pieces of the porcelain teeth formed by coating the denture bodies made of metal titanium with the porcelain and drying the coating are then detained and fixed to small detaining rods 32 on the baking base 30, and thereafter, the baking base 30 is risen to insert the porcelain teeth into the heating chamber 2 where the porcelain teeth are predried. The pressure in the furnace is reduced by a vacuum pump through a discharge pipe 6 and gaseous argon is introduced into the furnace through a gaseous argon introducing pipe 43 to substitute the in-furnace atmosphere with the gaseous argon. The energization to the heating element 5 is thereafter increased to bake the porcelain teeth. The porcelain teeth are cooled by blow-off of the gaseous argon after the baking.

2. Description of the Related Art In the field of dental treatment, a part of a tooth that is missing due to a caries or the like is prosthesis. Conventionally, a gold alloy crown is capped and fixed to the remaining root of a living tooth to fix it to the tooth. However, since gold alloys are expensive in recent years, Co-Cr alloys or Ni-Cr alloys are used, and the surface color tone is approximated to the appearance of natural teeth to impart aesthetics. In order to achieve this, a method of baking oxide-based porcelain to make the surface ceramic-like has been widely put into practical use. Also, recently
Metallic titanium or titanium alloys, which are less harmful to the human body than these alloys, have been selected for their excellent corrosion resistance, strength, and toughness.

In the conventional firing in each firing step, a porcelain material is fired at a high temperature by using a firing furnace in an air atmosphere capable of reducing the pressure, and is burned on the surface of a denture body made of metal. However, during this firing, by maintaining a reduced pressure, the bubbles contained in the softening and melting porcelain are removed,
If the transparency of the porcelain is increased, and if it is kept at a high temperature after melting and defoaming, the porcelain hangs down and the outer shape of the porcelain collapses. It was

[0007] In such a method of firing a ceramic tooth, when titanium or titanium alloy is used as the metal material of the crown, the low-melting porcelain material is generally inferior in aesthetics and 750-80.
Even at a firing temperature of 0 ° C., there is a problem that an oxide layer is formed between the titanium metal and the surface ceramics during firing and quenching, and the ceramics cracks and separates in the oxide layer. It was

Further, an oxide film was formed on the titanium surface inside the porcelain tooth during the firing process, and even if an antioxidant was applied to the inside surface, the formation of the oxide film could not be prevented. After firing, grinding the inner surface of the porcelain tooth to remove a small amount of oxide film expands the clearance between the surface of the remaining tooth and the inner surface of the porcelain tooth, and the porcelain tooth attached to the tooth is desired. There was also the problem of obstructing the occlusion because it was displaced from the position of the.

The above problem is caused by the property that metallic titanium or titanium alloy easily combines with oxygen and nitrogen in the air at high temperature to form an oxide or the like on the surface. Therefore, in order to completely prevent oxidation during firing, there is no choice but to load the denture body into the furnace, then maintain it in a high vacuum and heat it, and after firing, wait for the furnace to cool in vacuum before taking it out. Since the heat capacity in the furnace is large, it takes time to cool the furnace, and it is inevitable that the molten porcelain hangs down at high temperatures.

[0016] In the third cooling step, a non-oxidizing gas, for example, an inert gas is blown to cool the defrosted and hot pottery having a homogeneous pottery. Even if the heat capacity in the furnace is large, the denture or ceramic tooth is small in shape and size, and its heat capacity is also small.Therefore, even if the temperature in the furnace is high, the temperature is rapidly lowered by gas blowing, and the blowing gas is an inert gas. Since it is a non-oxidizing gas such as, it is not oxidized during cooling, and therefore is rapidly cooled to a temperature that does not oxidize when exposed to air. Further, the pressure in the furnace may be restored to the atmospheric pressure by blowing gas. In the fourth extraction step, the porcelain tooth that has been cooled to a temperature at which it does not oxidize in air is taken out of the furnace and allowed to cool.

The above-mentioned method of manufacturing a ceramic tooth is used for any of the above-mentioned opaque treatment, body treatment, stain treatment and glazing treatment. No oxide film is formed on the finished porcelain tooth, and no peeling layer due to the oxide layer is formed in the porcelain. Further, as the replacement gas and the injection gas in the furnace, nitrogen gas can be used instead of the inert gas. In this case, when the denture body is made of titanium metal or titanium alloy, a nitride is formed on the surface, but since the nitride is dense and stable and does not peel off, there is no problem.

Next, regarding the apparatus of the present invention for carrying out the method for manufacturing a ceramic tooth, since the heating furnace main body is airtight and the non-oxidizing gas introduction pipe and the vacuum pipe are connected, the inside of the furnace is closed. An active gas atmosphere or a nitrogen gas atmosphere can be used, or the pressure can be reduced. The heating element, which is usually an electric heating element, heats the porcelain tooth holder, particularly the firing table, and the porcelain tooth held on the porcelain tooth holder, especially the firing table, to a predetermined temperature.

Since the tube end opening of the gas injection pipe is provided toward the porcelain tooth held by the porcelain tooth holder, in the above cooling step, inert gas or nitrogen gas is blown to the porcelain tooth at a high temperature. To cool rapidly. When the injection pipe has a pipe expanding portion expanded to the opening side and the rectifying plate is mounted inside the pipe expanding, the inert gas or the nitrogen gas is between the rectifying plate peripheral edge and the pipe expanding inner wall. Since the jet flow spreads through the space, the tooth holders, in particular, the plurality of tooth teeth placed on the firing table, are cooled substantially uniformly.

FIG. 3 is a partial cross-sectional view of the furnace bottom portion of the present apparatus. In this example, the substrate 31 of the baking table 30 is placed on an elevating table (table) 33 fixed to an elevating apparatus (not shown). ,
The O-ring 3 of the substrate 31 is held by a compression spring 35 so that it can be urged upward, and when the lift table 33 is fixed at the upper limit position, the O-ring 3 of the substrate 31 is pushed and stretched by the compression spring 35.
11 is pressed against the outer bottom surface of the furnace shell bottom portion 101, and the substrate 31
The space between the furnace and the furnace shell 10 becomes airtight. In this state, if the furnace internal pressure becomes higher than the atmospheric pressure, the furnace internal pressure presses the substrate 31 outward, that is, downward, compresses the compression spring 35, and the O-ring 311 separates from the outer surface of the bottom portion 101. , A gas flow path as shown by an arrow in the figure is formed to reduce the internal pressure.

Next, an embodiment of the manufacturing method of the present invention will be described.
explain. In the production of porcelain teeth, the highest firing temperature is the opaque treatment, but in this case, the maximum firing temperature is about 950 ° C. when ordinary porcelain is used. The process of firing ceramic teeth using this ordinary porcelain and titanium metal as the metallic denture body is shown by the flowchart in FIG.

In the preparatory stage, the heating element 5 in the furnace is energized to keep the firing table 30 elevated and the ambient temperature in the heating chamber 2 maintained at about 450 ° C., and then the firing table 30 is lowered. As described above, a certain number of ceramic teeth, which are objects to be fired, which are obtained by applying porcelain to a metallic titanium denture body and drying the firing table 30
It is locked and fixed to the locking small rod 32 on the upper surface, then the firing table 30 is raised, and ceramic teeth are loaded into the heating chamber 2 in the furnace to carry out preliminary drying.

From the time when the baking base 30 is fixed to the upper limit and the opening at the bottom of the furnace is sealed, the atmosphere in the furnace is replaced with argon gas. In this operation, the vacuum valve 62 is opened and the vacuum pump 63 evacuates. Then, the pressure in the furnace is reduced to 10 mmHg or less, particularly 0.1 mmHg or less, and then the vacuum valve is closed and the argon gas opening / closing valve 45 is opened to introduce the argon gas introducing pipe 43 and the argon gas into the furnace. Argon gas is introduced up to near atmospheric pressure through the injection pipe 4. When this substitution operation of reduced pressure-introduction of argon is performed twice, the argon concentration in the atmosphere in the furnace becomes 99% or more, and oxygen and nitrogen harmful to titanium in the dental prosthesis are diluted to 1% or less. In the replacement step, the temperature inside the furnace and the tooth are preheated while being kept substantially constant at around 450 ° C.

Next, the vacuum valve 62 is opened to reduce the pressure of the argon atmosphere in the furnace and increase the electric power supplied to the heating element to fire the porcelain, but the atmosphere in the furnace is 50-100.
Temperature rising rate of about 60 ° C / mmHg
The inside of the furnace is rapidly heated to 950 ° C. in min. In this firing process, the powdered porcelain is softened and melted, and the bubbles generated at the time of melting escape into the decompressed atmosphere and disappear. It has a high ceramic quality.

When the temperature in the furnace reaches the porcelain firing temperature of 950 ° C., the argon on-off valve is immediately opened and the argon gas is injected from the argon gas injection pipe 4.
Since the cold argon gas is blown onto the surface of the porcelain tooth 3 on the firing table 30 from the expanded portion 41, the hot porcelain tooth is rapidly cooled to about 450 ° C. at the highest. If the temperature is kept around this temperature for a long time even after reaching the firing temperature, molten surface porcelain may droop or drip and deform the porcelain porcelain, so it is necessary to start cooling immediately and to cool it thereafter. There is. This cooling time is about 2.5 min in this example. At the same time, the pressure in the furnace rises to atmospheric pressure and is restored by the injection of argon gas. Since the relief valve mechanism provided on the substrate 31 of the firing table 30 as described above works against the furnace pressure higher than the atmospheric pressure due to the introduction of the argon gas, the furnace does not have a high pressure. Further, the atmosphere shutoff valve 64 may be opened.

Without the straightening plate 8 of the injection pipe 4,
As in (B), the argon gas ejected from the straight pipe portion 42 flows in the direction of the firing table 30 while the jet flow is as thick as the inner diameter of the straight pipe portion 42, but does not spread in the pipe expanding portion 41. ,
Therefore, the argon gas flow that reaches the entire area around the upper surface of the baking table 30 is weak. However, when the rectifying plate 8 is attached with an appropriate gap 80, the argon gas flows through the gap 80 between the peripheral edge of the rectifying plate 8 and the inner wall of the expanded tube portion 41, as shown in FIG. Under reduced pressure, it can be diffused as shown by the solid line arrow and sprayed over the entire upper surface of the firing table 30. As the pressure approaches the atmospheric pressure, a phenomenon is observed in which the jet flow detours directly below the central straightening plate 8 on the upper surface of the firing table 30 as indicated by the dashed line in the figure. By providing the baffle plate 8, a large number of porcelain teeth can be arranged on the upper surface of the firing table 30, and cooling can be performed almost simultaneously.

When the temperature of the ceramic tooth 3 drops to 450 ° C. or lower, the firing table 30 is lowered to move the ceramic tooth 100 to 100 in the air.
After allowing to cool to below ℃, the ceramic tooth is removed from the firing table 30.
At this stage, the ambient temperature in the furnace is maintained at about 450 ° C.

In the above firing method, since the firing step and the argon gas cooling step of the ceramic tooth are a vacuum atmosphere or an argon substitution atmosphere, the surface of titanium of the denture is oxidized even at a high temperature of 950 ° C. There is no such thing. Also,
Also in the cooling process during the injection of argon gas, the temperature is 450 ° C. or lower in the cooling process after the firing table is lowered, so that the surface is not oxidized even in the cooling process in the air. The above manufacturing method has been described with respect to the opaque treatment of the ceramic tooth, but in the body treatment, the stain treatment and the glazing treatment,
The same is done. In these cases, the material of the porcelain is changed, and the reduced pressure firing is performed at the firing temperature determined by the material.

Although the above embodiment is an example of the vertical furnace, it may be a horizontal furnace. In this case, if the heating chamber is made hollow so that the central axis is horizontal, the porcelain tooth holder may have, for example, a fire resistance of an openable / closable door provided in a furnace shell side wall opening communicating with the heating chamber. The inside is used. The denture or ceramic tooth is locked to the fire-resistant small rod protruding on the fire-resistant inner surface,
The inert gas injection pipe is arranged and fixed so that the injection port of the pipe end opening is directed to the refractory inner surface.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The method and apparatus for producing porcelain teeth according to the present invention are carried out in an inert gas atmosphere or a reduced pressure atmosphere in which the inert gas atmosphere is depressurized in the steps of preheating, firing and cooling the porcelain teeth. Therefore, even if the dental prosthesis that constitutes the ceramic tooth is an oxidizing metal, no oxide film is formed on the back surface and no oxide layer is formed at the boundary with the ceramic portion. The textured portion is not cracked and damaged, and the back surface of the inner side of the porcelain tooth can be attached to the tooth portion with extremely high accuracy.

In particular, in the cooling process after the firing process, since the inert gas or nitrogen gas is blown onto the porcelain tooth whose surface is in a high temperature molten state to cool it, even if the atmosphere in the furnace is high,
Porcelain teeth with a small heat capacity can be quickly taken out of the furnace in a non-oxidized state by rapidly lowering the temperature, thus preventing the deformation of the porcelain teeth due to the drooling of the surface porcelain, and, It is possible to completely prevent the oxidation of the ceramic denture body due to the conventional cooling in the atmosphere. Further, since the inside of the furnace can be maintained at the preheating temperature at all times, the porcelain teeth can be sequentially fired without cooling the inside of the furnace, and the productivity of the porcelain teeth is excellent.
